Re: [Harp-L] Next Harp - Availability of low keys

Wile the HohnerUSA website does not show low keys for most models, the Hohner C-Shop does.

Seydel currently offers all its diatonic standard-tuned models in keys ranging from Low Low F to High A, including Low E.

Hohner used to offer Marine Band, Special 20, and all of its MS models in keys down to Low D. However, they now offer only the rather expensive Thunderbird model in low keys. These are great harmonicas, but if you're not ready to pop $125-ish for a Thunderbird, you can pick up a Seydel Blues Session for $42, a Session Steel for $60, or an 1847 for $90.Â

It has just occurred to me that it might be a good idea that more of the harp companies should make a Low E for those that wish to play cross harp to get B. Yes, I know B Major isn't a popular key, but still it would be a nice option, especially considering that a standard E harp can be shrill.

Richard; that is an exception that proves the rule.
